Peri-implant diseases leading to the failure of dental implants is concern in the field of dentistry. Difference in immune response around peri-implant tissues with healthy tissue might be responsible for the hidden cause of peri-implant diseases. Hence, in the current study, the dispersion of the dendritic cell (DC) subpopulations and Langerhans cells (LCs) was evaluated in healthy peri-implant mucosa (HPIM) and healthy mucosa (HM) to know the imbalance in immune homeostasis.
